(Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938: August 15, 1873 Eddie Lauffer Geary, aged 19 months and 19 days, was so terribly burned at New Florence, Westmoreland county, about noon on Tuesday, 7th inst., by his clothes taking fire from a lighted stick, with which he was playing at the stove, that he died the following afternoon. The child's parents were absent from the house at the time, and his grandmother was too feeble to save the little unfortunate, although she got her hands badly burned in the effort to do so.
